According to the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy, families can save as much
as 30% on their energy costs*, and still keep the features, style and comfort they
want, just by making a few smart choices.
To give you a head start, M/I Homes has already made a lot of those choices for
you. For a lot of builders, conservation is installing Energy Star appliances and
that's it. We do a lot more. A LOT more. With every single-family detached home
we build, we strictly adhere to the EPA's demanding requirements so that your new
M/I home is 100% ENERGY STAR® qualified.
That means that from foundation to rooftop, our homes are designed and built to
save energy. And when we're finished, we have an independent, third-party evaluation
done to validate that we've followed the EPA standards to the letter. That's a big
difference.
But energy savings are just the beginning. Your Energy Star home will be more comfortable.
And you'll be more confident that your home is operating at peak efficiency. Not
only will that give you peace of mind, it will also give you the sense of well-being
that comes from doing the right thing: helping to conserve the earth's resources
and protecting its fragile ecosystem.
For a closer look, just move your cursor over the construction features below. You'll
see why your dream home should be a 100% Energy Star M/I home.

Tight seals improve air quality by reducing the risk of dust, pollen, pests and
noise from entering the ducts and circulating throughout the home. These also increase
the home's energy efficiency.
Your walls, attic and floors can help maintain an even temperature throughout your
M/I home. Quality insulation also reduces the amount of humidity and noises that
come inside.
Appliances that have earned the Energy Star® can be much more energy efficient
than those without it–which can help you save on your utility bills.
Keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter to reduce moisture
condensation and to minimize interior fabric fading on your curtains and furniture.
These inspections provide you the assurance and confidence of owning a well-constructed
house that has met the strict energy-efficiency standards set by the EPA.
The heating and cooling systems we build into our homes use environmentally friendly
Puron® refrigerant and high-efficiency design.
